Afternoon everyone ….
I’m going to share a hand poured bar from a company that is no longer around. Unfortunately the owner passed away unexpectedly and the business closed. I believe it roughly two years now.
They produced so really nice bars in various shapes and sizes. I am a big fan of there work and have quite a few pieces from them.
Here is info on them…

Now the beautiful bar…
I don’t know if this is where they got their name from, but there was a Vulture Mine.
The Vulture Mine was a gold mine and settlement in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. The mine began in 1863 and became the most productive gold mine in Arizona history. From 1863 to 1942 A.D., the mine produced 340,000 ounces (9,638.8 kgs) of gold and 260,000 ounces (7,370.9 kgs) of silver. Historically, the mine attracted more than 5,000 people to the area, and is credited with founding the town of Wickenburg, Arizona.The town that served the mine was known as Vulture City.
